Anything Wrong With The 2007 Toyota Camry XLE V6? by FransixOsita(m): 8:15am On Nov 20, 2014
Guys, i am close to closing a deal for a 2007 Camry XLE with V6 engine. The car comes with the thumbstart and looks really great. I have test-driven and its really smooth and comfortable, and the transmission doesn't have any issue. The car is registered, so i took my mechanic to go check it out and he scared me to death. He likes the engine, but says the gearbox is generally troublesome (though it is working perfectly now and he didnt test drive). He also says the thumbstart is a big risk as it will be a huge challenge to fix if it develops a fault.

What are your thoughts please? How reliable is the gearbox and the thumbstart of the 2007 camry XLE V6?

Appreciate u guys

Don't allow that mechanic to come near your car for the rest of his life. Buy the car you wish and don't forget to carry out a proper routine checks as at when due.

the person you call a mechanic is a bicycle repairer, not a mechanic.

Dude, your problem started when you took a 504 car series mechanic to go and inspect a 21st century machine. It's way below his knowledge and competency.
Imagine, he didn't scan the car with OBD scanner (that's if he had ever used one), he's probably seeing a thumb start for the first time, and surely had no clue on how the mechanism works. Just advised you based on his empty fears.
It reminds me of a few years back when these clowns specialized in advising car owners to change auto transmissions to manual immediately an issue pops up.
Please if you are buying any car from 1996 upwards, go with a mechanic that knows how to scan and fix modern cars, leave those archaic mechs to be fixing the danfos and mercedes vboots they are used to.

Pros

Roomy cabin, powerful V6 engine, hybrid model available, legendary build quality and reliability history.

Cons

No manual transmission available with V6, some odd styling elements.
